I've posted this before and I'll post it again now. I have both a Johnson and an Aero (as well as a GW). As Trapp points out,
Johnson has a wider variety of jackets and jacket quality. The walk-in store requires some standard, contemporary, affordable goods.
After over 15 years, I'd have to...
So who got this unusually large jacket?

I would have bid, but they didn't answer my email inquiry.
It's nice, especially the back. But looking at that leather, it sure looks like cow or steer, not horse.
And the price clearly includes a whole tub of Pecard's or equivalent. They coulda gone
lighter on the leather lotion.
Anyone ever see a Derby of San Francisco overcoat? I found one today and it's pretty cool.
Unfortunately it's a 46, which is not as big as I'd like, but it does fit. The belt is gone and one
button has been (very carefully) replaced, but otherwise in great shape. Someone loved this coat...
Okay, who got this lovely Knox Fifteen (velour?)?

I'll be curious to learn more about it (but clearly was too cheap to win it).
Doesn't stand up like it used to.
And yes, the hat you see in the background on the second shot (Stetson 20 Sovereign Ambassador Mode Edge)
accounts for the fuzzy border on the first shot. They make much better hats than they do camera stands.
It *is* summer... even in the SF Bay Area we don't get *that* much wear from leather jackets
in the summer. But I'll see what I can do this weekend. Just for you, I'll put it on now and smoke
a cigar.
They do HH jackets, both stock and custom. And they can get Horween just like your Aero.
I don't have a HH jacket from Johnson, but I have a friend who does, right off the rack.
I have had a Johnson jacket for over 15 years. Wore it last night. It's great. Cow. Very heavy.
They have heavier, which they use for Highway Patrol jackets. It looks very nice.
I have had an Aero jacket for a few months now. Horsehide. Kinda stiff, dense but not as thick and heavy...
Do also try the search feature here (actually, I use google search- "stretch site:thefedoralounge.com").

Anyone spot this picture of Larry Hagman in what appears to be a very nice panama? I'm going to give the link to
the largest size for detail. I won't put it in as an image because it takes a while to load.
